While I'm working on my scenario on German-East Africa, which will be a strategical/tactical guerilla campaign, I'm also going to pick up work on something else. I've got a number of interesting ideas, but I've no idea which one would be the most interesting, and the most rewarding for both the players and myself. My attempts to discover the preferred scenario type (i.e. empire-building, war, etc.) by checking the statistics on my site led to much confusion (BTW, a visitor number of 1341 in an era where Civ2 is supposed to be dead is quite interesting...). So, I'm gonna ask openly and right here which of these projects (if any) appears to be the most interesting... If any more detailed descriptions of my ideas are required, I'd be happy to post it.

I'm too stupid...
I forgot to activate the poll option, so I'm gonna do it 'manually' here...
1. Rise of Carthage: An empire building game based in the western Mediterranean, about the rise of Carthage. (ca. 900-264 BC)
2. Age of Cimon: An empire building/conquest game about the expansion of Athens in the eastern mediterranean at the cost of the Persians and Spartans. (478-431 BC)
3. Hawaii:A naval-based scenario about empire building in Hawaii (some new topic, I think), and the interference of the Europeans/Americans in the 18th century. Alternately something about the Polynesian cultures in the South Sea and the interference of the Europeans.
4. Iran-Iraq War: A tactical war scenario about the war between Iran and Iraq between 1980-88.
5. Something about Rome, perhaps Rome in Gaul and Germania, or the civil war between 193 and 197 AD, or the rise of the Goths
6. Any other ideas?Follow the masses!
30,000 lemmings can't be wrong!

I'll go with 4.

I am putting my vote in for number 4 as well. I have long wanted to do an Iran-Iraq war scenario, but alass I do not have the disipline to finish it if I start it."I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me." -- General George S. Patton

Well Stefan, if you DO end up doing an Iran-Iraq scenario, feel free to drop your local Arab an e-mail with any questions. You know how much I love the subject criteria.
Personally, i'd like to see some more scenarios based in Central Asia or Siberia. Maybe a really nice version of my Khanates scenario where you can take up one of the crumbling Khanate empires after the death of Kublai Khan in 1294 lasting until Ivan IV's conquest of Sibir (considered by some Mongolian historians as the last Khanate) in 1584. Someone like you could take that idea and do something I can't - add in the extensive artistic talent and design.
As you can tell, I love Mongol history as well.

KA... ME... HA... ME... HAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!
But also Goths are a great theme... never heard about a Gothic War scenario."Io non volgo le spalle dinnanzi al nemico!!!" - il Conte di San Sebastiano al messo del comandante in capo, battaglia dell'Assietta
"E' più facile far passare un cammello per la cruna di un ago che un pensiero nel cervello di Bush!!!" - Zelig

A scen about the Goths would be tough to do tho, IMO. Considering their history and dispersion across nearly ALL of Europe.
You have to consider that they started out in Gotland (Sweden), settled Poland, were pushed into the Danube, Italy and Spain by the Huns, and broke up into the Visigoths (Good Goths) and Ostrogoths (Eastern Goths).
It'd be hard (but quite fun) to simulate that in a scenario.
